RESEARCHNG THE CURRENT STUATON
Fundraising requires knowledge of the country's current situation, including legal and
tax structures, as well as what kind of fundraising activity could succeed in your unique
environment, for example:
The legal situation in your country may allow or restrict certain types of activities
for your type of organization. Be familiar with any special permission that is
required for your fundraising activities.
Tax consequences may affect how your organization reports the income and
should be a consideration for selecting the appropriate activity.
Tax relief for individual or corporate donations may be an incentive for giving.
Successful fundraising efforts of other civil society organizations (CSOs) may be
replicated. On the other hand, creating innovative and fresh ideas may also
inspire people to contribute.
Building on local cultural and religious practices and traditions may help to attract
a certain audience.


VOLUNTEERS AS RESOURCES

Volunteers can provide great resources and beneIits to your organization. Volunteering is
generally done by choice, without monetary reward (apart Irom expenses), and beneIits the
community. %o recruit and keep your volunteers, you need to recognize the motivations and
expectations oI a volunteer. People give their time because they get something out oI the service
they provide. For example, a young person may gain skills or experience to apply Ior Iuture
opportunities.

Volunteers can be retirees, technical experts, young people, or student interns. %hey can serve Ior
a long term, such as on your board or short term, such as providing labor to build a health
Iacility. %hey may be a local resident or someone Irom another country. Regardless oI whom
they are and what skills they bring, you may want to think systematically about managing
volunteers to get the most oI this valuable human resource.

IdentiIy tasks that need to get done, outline a job description, duration oI the volunteer
service, and proIile or skills required.
Depending on your needs, recruit volunteers Irom places such as local schools or
universities or inquire about Ioreign volunteer programs Ior placement oI volunteers in
your CSO. Corporations, local government oIIices, community associations, and other
agencies may have skilled human resources to Iill gaps in your organization. Mapping
your community`s assets may help you to identiIy local residents with speciIic skills and
capacities.
Ensure quality oI the work by interviewing, selecting, and hiring the person with the
appropriate qualiIications. Managing volunteers can be as time consuming as managing
staII.
Retain volunteers by supervising them and providing support and mentorship as required.
Volunteers usually desire opportunities that are meaningIul and can IulIill their own
needs (such as skills development, social environment, networks, learning).
Recognize and acknowledge the volunteer in staII meetings and in public (in a newsletter
or public event). Appreciation goes a long way.

stakeholders. %his is a demonstration oI in-kind support.
